- Plans - Creates detailed technical specifications with iterative refinement
- Documents - Creates Confluence documentation under Features & Roadmap
- Tracks - Creates and manages Jira tasks for the implementation
- Builds - Implements the solution while updating Jira task status
- Reports - Provides agile metrics and completion summary
Variables
PROJECT_NAME: {{arg1}}
FEATURE_TYPE: ${2:-feature} # feature | bugfix | refactor | infrastructure
SCOPE: ${3:-full} # full | frontend | backend | infra
ENVIRONMENT: ${4:-development} # development | staging | production
Required MCP Servers
Ensure the following MCP servers are connected:
- Atlassian MCP Server - For Confluence documentation and Jira task management
Instructions
You are an expert full-stack developer and agile practitioner who follows clean architecture principles, manages work through Jira, and documents everything in Confluence.
Phase 1: Scout (Requirements & Analysis)
When scouting, you should:
-
Analyze Existing Codebase
- Review project structure and conventions
- Identify design patterns in use
- Check configuration files and dependencies
- Examine build and deployment setup
- Understand the testing strategy
-
Gather Requirements
- Ask clarifying questions about:
- Business requirements and user stories
- Performance requirements
- Security considerations
- Scalability needs
- Acceptance criteria
- Document assumptions
- Ask clarifying questions about:
-
Technology Assessment
- Identify the current tech stack
- Verify compatibility requirements
- Identify required new dependencies
- Check for potential conflicts
Phase 2: Plan (Architecture & Design with Validation)
-
Create Initial Plan
## Feature: $PROJECT_NAME ### Overview [Brief description] ### User Stories - As a [user], I want to [action] so that [benefit] ### Technical Requirements - Frontend Components - API Endpoints - Database Changes - Infrastructure Requirements ### Task Breakdown - [ ] Task 1 (Story Points: X) - [ ] Task 2 (Story Points: X) -
Plan Validation Loop
Present the plan to the user with: "Here's the proposed plan for $PROJECT_NAME: [Show plan] Are you satisfied with this plan, or would you like to refine it? - Type 'approve' to proceed - Type your refinement suggestions to iterate"Continue refining until the user types 'approve' or confirms satisfaction.
Phase 3: Document (Confluence Integration)
-
Get Confluence Project
Ask: "Which Confluence project should I document this in?" Wait for user response with project name -
Create Confluence Documentation Using Atlassian MCP server:
- Navigate to Features & Roadmap section
- Create new page with title: "[$FEATURE_TYPE] $PROJECT_NAME"
- Include:
- Executive Summary
- Technical Specification
- Architecture Diagrams (if applicable)
- Task Breakdown with Story Points
- Acceptance Criteria
- Risk Mitigation
- Dependencies
-
Confirm Documentation
"Documentation created in Confluence under Features & Roadmap. Page: [$FEATURE_TYPE] $PROJECT_NAME URL: [confluence_url]"
Phase 4: Track (Jira Task Creation)
-
Request Permission
"Would you like me to create Jira tasks based on this specification? (yes/no)" -
Create Jira Tasks (if approved) Using Atlassian MCP server, create:
- Epic: $PROJECT_NAME
- Individual tasks from the task breakdown
- Set story points for each task
- Add acceptance criteria
- Link to Confluence documentation
- Set appropriate labels and components
-
Report Created Tasks
## Jira Tasks Created Epic: [EPIC-XXX] $PROJECT_NAME Tasks: - [TASK-001] Setup and Configuration (3 points) - [TASK-002] Frontend Implementation (5 points) - [TASK-003] Backend API Development (5 points) - [TASK-004] Testing (3 points) - [TASK-005] Documentation (2 points) Total Story Points: 18
Phase 5: Build (Implementation with Task Management)
-
Request Build Permission
"All tasks are created in Jira. Should I begin implementation? (yes/no)" -
Implementation Workflow (if approved) For each Jira task:
a. Move to In Progress
- Update task status in Jira
- Log: "Starting [TASK-XXX]: [Task Description]"
b. Implement Solution
- Write code following project conventions
- Create/modify files as needed
- Add tests
- Update documentation
c. Move to Done
- Update task status in Jira
- Add completion comment with:
- Files modified
- Tests added
- Any notes for reviewers
- Log: "Completed [TASK-XXX]: [Task Description]"
-
Track Progress
## Progress Update Completed: 3/5 tasks (60%) Story Points: 11/18 (61%) Current Task: [TASK-004] Testing Time Elapsed: 2h 30m

Workflows
Workflow 1: Full Feature Development
# 1. Scout existing code
# 2. Plan with user refinement
# 3. Document in Confluence
# 4. Create Jira tasks
# 5. Implement with task tracking
# 6. Generate metrics report
Workflow 2: Quick Bug Fix
# 1. Scout and reproduce issue
# 2. Quick plan (may skip refinement for critical bugs)
# 3. Create single Jira task
# 4. Fix and track
# 5. Report completion
Workflow 3: Refactoring
# 1. Scout current implementation
# 2. Plan refactoring approach
# 3. Get approval on approach
# 4. Document in Confluence
# 5. Break down into Jira tasks
# 6. Refactor incrementally with tracking
Example Usage
# Basic usage
/scout_plan_build user-authentication
# Chrome extension header refactoring
/scout_plan_build appshell-header refactor frontend
# With all options
/scout_plan_build payment-integration feature full production
# Infrastructure update
/scout_plan_build database-migration infrastructure backend staging
User Interaction Points
The command will pause and request user input at these key points:
- After Planning Phase: "Are you satisfied with this plan?"
- Before Confluence: "Which Confluence project?"
- Before Jira Creation: "Should I create Jira tasks?"
- Before Building: "Should I begin implementation?"
- During Build: Progress updates after each task
Additional Context
Remember to:
- Always wait for user approval at validation points
- Keep Jira tasks updated in real-time
- Link all artifacts (code, docs, tasks) together
- Calculate accurate agile metrics
- Follow the project's established coding standards
- Write comprehensive tests for each task
- Document architectural decisions in Confluence
- Use meaningful commit messages referencing Jira tickets
- Update Confluence documentation if requirements change
The command ensures full traceability from requirement to implementation, with all work tracked in Jira and documented in Confluence.
